Meet the cookie I can\u2019t stop eating. \u00a0Literally. \u00a0I had to give these cookies away just to stop myself from eating them all in one sitting.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s so many things going for this shortbread cookie: fresh orange, mini chocolate chips, and, wait for it\u2026shredded coconut in every bite. \u00a0All these flavors combine to produce a cookie that\u2019s a cross between a coconut macaroon and a Pepperidge Farm Orange Milano.<\/p>\n

Light, buttery and perfectly addictive\u2026<\/p>\n

Orange Chocolate Chip Shortbread Cookies<\/span><\/h3>\n

Makes 2 dozen cookies<\/span><\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • 1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature<\/span><\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 cup powdered sugar<\/li>\n
  • 1\/4 cup fresh orange zest<\/li>\n
  • 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice<\/li>\n
  • 1 cup flour<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 cup shredded coconut<\/li>\n
  • Pinch of salt<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 cup mini chocolate chips<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Instructions:<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • In the bowl of your mixer, beat together the butter, powdered sugar and orange zest on medium speed until combined.<\/li>\n
    • Beat in the orange juice.<\/li>\n
    • On low speed, gradually add the flour, coconut and pinch of salt. \u00a0Mix on medium speed until well-combined, about 2 minutes.<\/li>\n
    • Reduce the speed to low, and mix in the chocolate chips.<\/li>\n
    • Transfer the cookie dough to a piece of parchment paper, and use your hands to form the dough into a rectangle-shaped log.<\/li>\n
    • Wrap the cookie dough log in the parchment paper, then freeze for 1 hour.<\/li>\n
    • Once frozen, preheat the oven to 325\u00b0 and use a sharp knife to cut the log into 24 cookies.<\/li>\n
    • Place the cookies on a lined baking sheet, and bake the cookies at 325\u00b0 until lightly golden brown, about 20 minutes, rotating the cookie sheets halfway through.<\/li>\n
    • Cool the cookies completely before enjoying!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
